History

Early Days

It was in the first days of the world that NovaCeasar led the first Roman Settlers deep into the Minus Minus in search for a suitable city location.

At first they made camp in a location they called Sophia that would later become one of Rome's first provinces before settling on the location for the capital. The first Romans broke ground and hailed NovaCeasar Imperator and crowned her their leader. Work began in earnest in Roma and the surrounding territory.

Mummybundles would begin a settlement called Latifundia in the southern part of the Italian Peninsula while Zebra settled Caesarea Maritima on one of the islands east of Rome as part of what would eventually become the Province of Corsica and Sardinia.

In large part the early months went by largely without incident while the claims in and around the city of Roma were established a and built up.

Expansion

After the inital phase of settling and establishing the capital a new wave of Roman citizens joined the city and a fresh wave of exploration and expansion began.

With the primary goal of creating a sustainable food supply and creating farms for XP production the boundaries of Rome were pushed in all directions to encompass a diverse range of biomes. Langly and Bloodhbound98 would establish settlements to the northwest in areas that would later be organized into the Provinces of Gallia and Germania while Mark_Antony settled to the southwest on the border of Luxembourg and Empasse in an area that would eventually become Hispania. NovaCeasar herself would continue in Roma to centralize the settlement efforts as well as overseeing Rome's sprawling rail development.

After sometime NovaCeasar worked with Empasse and agreed upon the Partitioning of Luxembourg which had fallen to inactivity as well as establishing claims on the island chain to the south of Italia in the area to become Achaia. Nova also worked with Daddy of Limnadia to incorporate the small Kingdom into the S.P.Q.R. and eventually a treaty was signed giving the land to Rome.

Many more minor outpusts, mines and camps, farms, and other unremarkable posts were left behind during the expansion.

Much of what the Empire is today was established during this period, although work remained to be done everywhere including the capital. The initial Rail lines were completed connecting Roma to places as far away as Impasse, Lexington, and The Commonwealth.

The Fall

After an inital spout of growth and activity, Rome fell on hard times as activity and productivity decreased. The Census at the time recorded record lows. In an emergency NovaCeasar called for a meeting of the remaining Senators, constitutional law was suspended, and Nova became undisputed ruler over all of Rome.

Renaissance

During the current Era, many Romans have returned and activity and production have increased. Some elements of the government are functioning again and the hope is to restore constitutional law in the immediate future.

Provinces

Map of Roman Provinces

Roman territory is partitioned into provinces.

Italila

The first Roman Province, Italia is the home to the capital city Roma as well as several other minor farms and settlements, most notably being Latifundia.

Latifundia is a large farming estate established by Mummybundles in the early days of Rome and served as the city's initial food supply before additional provinces were established. Today Latifundia is a stop on the rail south to the commonwealth

Politics

The S.P.Q.R. has descended into a constitutional monarchy headed by NovaCeasar. There is a Senate and Consuls as well as other lesser officials.
